It’s not fair. I at least wanna go get a burger at Buttfuckers.

Perhaps Albion Online for a similar kind of game?

Anyone have a translation for apparently us geriatric 30-somethings who can’t understand a word of it?

Bubsy 3D. The controls were awkward, the platforming was horrendous, and the levels were nonsensical.

It was a local restaurant run by a shady businessman who’s known for running less than good quality restaurants. Whatever, I figured, it was cheap and close to my house.

Except me and my family were served rotten meat when we ate there. The manager only wanted to give us a 20% discount. Like hell I’m paying for rotten food. Never again.

Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.

She shot you a week ago. Wait for it….

If I had a nickel for every time a full power cycle fixed it all, I’d be rich. However, if you did power cycle before and call in again, often it’s an issue that needs deeper investigation. In that case, the tech can likely watch the process of your equipment coming online in realtime to see where the issue is happening. Network entry, authentication, package application, DHCP, it can often be monitored as it’s happening. A reboot while on the phone starts the process right from the beginning so it can be monitored to determine what happens immediately and what happens after it sits for a while.

1. Unplug the power
2. Wait ~30 seconds, just to ensure it’s good and off
3. Plug it back in

Fortunately there are no commands to enter or buttons to click. They’re designed to handle losing power.

I work in the magical world of ISPs. If you’re having an internet issue, reboot your router and/or modem before calling in. It may not seem like much to you, but many background processes happen when you do so. This can be useful to troubleshoot where the issue lies. There’s a reason why techs will make you do so when calling in. And yes, they can tell on their end if and when you do so. So don’t bullshit them by saying you already did it if you didn’t.

Pretty much. But publicly MSG still has that “ooo scary and harmful” stigma to it. It’s no more harmful than salt or sugar, but some weird racism against Chinese immigrants in the 40s created that stigma.

My solution to making home cooking taste better than fast food was buying a fat sack of MSG and using it in everything. Truly it’s the king of flavor.

Nice

But if the paper nation flanks us we’ll be at a stalemate. We have a conundrum.

Stick every time. Stick is a sword, a walking tool, a measure, a prybar. Rock is rock. You can throw it. You can hit stuff with it. That’s about it.

I was too distracted by the jablecloth, I didn’t notice the japkins.

If only there was a way to prevent a person from getting measles. Hell, mumps and rubella too!

I was just a tech-obsessed teenager who thought it seemed cool. Messed around with it but since gaming was a pain in the ass I shelved it and went to Windows. Eventually administering Linux systems became my career.

Windows 11 is hot garbage. I haven’t had anything outright break, but with my hardware my machine should not be as slow as it is. Installed Ubuntu since it’s what I messed around with as a teenager and here we are.

However, now that gaming is even relatively painless in Linux, it’s here to stay on my personal desktop. A couple tools still require a Windows install but 90% of my usage is Linux and I don’t see that changing any time soon.

EDIT: I wouldn’t say I’m an evangel or anything. I don’t preach Linux to people, nor would I want to get my friends and family into it. The last thing I want to do is troubleshoot their botched install because they fucked around with system files and broke something.

I wouldn’t really say I’m obsessed either, it’s an OS. It allows me to actually do the things I want to do, and quickly. I enjoy it but I don’t plan on distro hopping, making low level tweaks, or anything. It just works and lets me work and play games. That’s good enough for me.
